Current thought: ticklish robots🤖
Robots are by definition emotionless, calculating, incapable of feeling.
But☝️what if they weren’t?
True, feathers or skittering fingers may not work on their hard metal exteriors. But that just means you gotta get more creative!
Robots, like any other piece of technology, need to be cleaned. An electric buffer will have them looking shiny, but make sure to hold them down so they don’t squirm!
If they’re too fast for you, one fun thing you can do with robots is painlessly take them apart for cleaning. But, if said robot’s parts are bluetooth-connected, that may be even better! Just cradle the robot’s leg, arm, wheel, whatever and buff it while you take in their helpless laughter, unable to defend themself if their most sensitive surface areas are no longer attached to the rest of their body.
And what happens if you go beyond the surface? Robots need to be cleaned on the inside as well!
Just look at all the tools you’d need to clean a computer:
Like HELLO?! Half of these look so tickly already, imagine how they’d feel for a robot!
Tiny little brushes can scrape the dirt out of every nook and groove in their metal, and little blows of compressed air help get the dust off!
And imagine a robot shuddering with ticklish anticipation as you slowly unscrew them to get to their sensitive wiring…
Scrubbing the grime out of the inside of a computer has never been more fun! And uh oh, looks like the wires are all tangled! We can’t have that! Hmm, which one goes here? Which one goes here? Why are the robot’s screen eyes shorting out? Why does their laugh keep glitching??
By the end, they’ll be looking as good as new— and hopefully feeling even better. But if the robots try to rise up and take over, just know that they can be taken down with a few plucks to their wires and vaccuums to their fans.
Ticklish robots are the best robots!
